Logistyx TMS Enhances Transportation Planning

PL Developments recovers $1.5 million in transportation savings.

PL Developments (PLD) is a leading manufacturer of over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals and healthcare products serving virtually every major retailer in the U.S. With manufacturing and fulfillment operations encompassing 12 warehouses and 1.2 million sq. ft. of space, PLD was managing transportation planning for 50,000 parcel, LTL and truckload shipments a year on a system it had outgrown.

Business Challenge

PLD’s transportation team was working in a decentralized manner, with carrier routing decisions being made by staff at each of its locations, who were relying on multiple, non-integrated systems to manage their work.

Solution

PLD already implemented Oracle EBS to manage much of its operations, but also chose Oracle OTM for LTL and TL shipments, Logistyx Audit to automate their freight invoices and the Logistyx TMS for their parcel shipping operations.Read this case study to find out how PLD integrated Logistyx shipping software and audit solutions with its Oracle ERP and OTM solutions to create a centralized platform that has dramatically streamlined transportation planning, audit and payment.

"Transit time is very important for us because we handle both made-to-stock and made-to-order orders, and knowing exactly when the product needs to ship is very important to our supply chain."
